Malek AlmutairiOctober 4, 2016Great burger but not worth the investment required. These burgers are goos even great but if you need to sell a kin-deny to pay for a burger it's all wrong.
DatJune 9, 2015Even across the pond, across the sands of time, the burger holds up. Great outdoor scene too
John GibbonsAugust 13, 2013A single is small by comparison to other burger places (GBK, Five Guys, Byron, Honest, Patty&Bun, Kua Aina). Could call these "sliders". Could also call these not as good as any of those others.
Jonathan NguyenDecember 30, 2014The long wait and the cold outdoor seating work against these guys here because you won't be able to get a hot burger here. Better in the States.
Anna CaldasOctober 4, 2013Just order the shroom burguer, you wont regret it! One of the best burguers I've ever had!
Vic McGinMay 15, 2015Really just a fancy McDonald's. The same price as a nice sit down meal. I don't rate it. Go to meat market around the corner for a premium burger.
Karl BriscoeNovember 7, 2014Burgers were OK, I still prefer a Patty & Bun or Byron , Maybe on par with GBP. Still it's a lovely place to sit and eat in Covent Garden.
- Phil ClampSeptember 2, 2014Get a malted milkshake! I love the vanilla but it always makes me feel a bit sick. Totally worth it though.
Katie ReynoldsSeptember 21, 2013Excellent and efficient service. A rare find in London. Good burgers and fries too!
- Tom LiemAugust 5, 2015Smokeshack is the only thing I can justify at these prices. It was pretty good. The plain cheeseburger is better and cheaper at Five guys!
The ale served is made by Brooklyn Brewery and is perfect with the burgers and cheese fries.
Mike BodenJanuary 14, 2015Order a double size if you have an appetite. Avoid the cheese fries, they are not like the ones in the USA, which are great.
Alistair MayorAugust 8, 2013Cheese Fries were amazing, but what makes the burger different than any other is the potato bun. Delishh!
Kanin S.August 7, 2014The portobello mushroom burger is a must! Don't forget a side of cheesy fries.
Ignore your friends who call it a different McDonald's. Avoid the Single, go Double of anything. Fries/chips are okay but the hand-spun Shakes are what make it.
- Victor ChuOctober 4, 2019The taste is good. But there's long queues and there's pigeons flying and messing around inside.
John PNovember 25, 2014Great burgers but a bit small, the ice tea/lemonade combination they offer is lovely.
Jon ChooJuly 10, 2013The Shack burger is pretty good but nothing mind blowing. The shakes are awesome.
Please meet the first ever European produced Shake Shack :D best burger ever!
Karthik DeivarayanJuly 22, 2013It's a shame there isn't a chicken burger and the only vegetarian option is mushroom ... The coffee shake and fe cheese fries are definitely worth a shot ..
nigeAugust 4, 2013Remember the Big Kahuna Burger from Pulp Fiction? That's exactly what you get here.
Aicha Le blog de KatApril 7, 2014Simple but tasty burgers. Love it. Too bad we don't have any Shake Shack in Paris!
Natalia Rodríguez NovásJanuary 3, 2015Tasty and affordable burgers and milkshakes :) It's worth the wait!
- John GibbonsAugust 13, 2013The queue moves pretty quickly. You are just queuing up to order at a counter and then you get your food on the other side.
Get the cheese fries! Also the Shack Stack has become my go to burger here.
Alexandre BourgeoisAugust 28, 2014Pricy but extremely tasty. Go for a double Shakeshack burger for a proper feast!
Everything I hoped it would be. The Smoke Shack burger is amazing.- Alan BoughenJuly 16, 2013Pretty close to emulating the NYC original. SmokeShack burger & Concrete Jungle custard both very good. Cheese fries very disappointing. Honestly for the money you're better off going to Byron.
【 @tin_fish 】August 25, 2014better than a lot of these new genre burger bars. you might struggle for a seat though.
Heidi RiderOctober 7, 2018First time eating here and feeling a bit sad that this is a place people love as I just didn’t think these burgers and fries were anything special
Stuart CruickshankJuly 29, 2013What's the fuss all about? So many better burger joints in London than this place, which is essentially a more expensive version of Burger King. Upgrade yourself to Byron at those prices.
Anastasios DagkosApril 29, 2016I was queuing for minutes and once I've placed my order they told me that they don't accept credit cards. Awesome job guys
